Marie Masters (Susan, ATWT)

— PGP

June 18, 2008

From Joe Diliberto
Don't call them cougars, but AS THE WORLD TURNS' Kim, Susan and Lisa not only got lines on the same day, they were all organically integrated into front-burner storylines involving ... uh, less-mature actresses. Marie Masters' Susan defended daughter Alison's lawsuit from Kim's criticism. Kathryn Hays' Kim quite rightly defended Chris and the proud Hughes name. It was also a nice wink to fans when Susan brought up her tryst with Bob as grounds for Kim to hate Ali. While Kim has also been seen lurking in the periphery of the Katie/Brad/Janet hijinks at WOAK, when was the last time we saw Eileen Fulton's wonderful Lisa? Yesterday, Paul asked Lisa to boot nutty Sofie out of the Lakeview, but then changed his mind and asked her to the let the troubled young woman stay.

Of course, calling Sofie a “troubled young woman” is an understatement. She's currently undertaking a plan to do harm to another veteran lady, Colleen Zenk Pinter's Barbara. Swapping out Babs' morphine is certainly whacko — but what in the world was going through the minds of Will and Gwen when they sent Sofie photographs of the baby she gave them to raise? This baby-napping chick was already far from stable, so what did they think her reaction would be? She was bound to act out! (This is not to excuse Sofie; it just reminds me of that old saying: You don't spit into the wind. In this case, Will's mother is going to regret it.)

I feel Sorry for the way Scott Bryce was Treated & I don't Blame Him one Bit for His decision Not to return. To Bring Scott Back & Make Him feel like He can't do a single thing Right or just Not Listening & Then Firing Him over the Phone that is not Just disrespectful Behavior That is Abusive & should Be Investigated further since other Good Actors Have Left the Show. Like Scott Said When Douglas Marland Was in Charge It was Enjoyable Because Doug Treated Them all Like Family But Chris Goutman Doesn't Seem to care
